Serving Troops- Green Beans Coffee

1 post in this topic

Troops serving overseas say that stepping into a Green Bean Coffee is like having â€œ15 minutes of home.â€ Operating in some of the most dangerous places in the world, Green Bean Coffee serves troops in Afghanistan, Djibouti, Kyrgyzstan, Kuwait, and Qatar.

â€œWe were motivated by a desire to help service our deployed military service members,â€ President and co-founder Jon Araghi said. â€œWe give them a safe, comfortable environment to relax, enjoy a little bit of down time, and escape the stresses of their everyday environment.â€

â€œHere at home we operate our cafes at military bases and civilian airports across the United States,â€ Araghi states. â€œWe contribute a portion of every transaction to Snowball Express, the charity that cares for the children of our fallen military heroes.â€

The Green Bean Coffee franchise uses an iPad point of sale and business management system called Lavu. GBC currently has twenty Lavu accounts worldwide with more locations on track for 2014. Araghi said the superior system design makes it easy to upgrade, maintain, and/or replace as needed. â€œLavu is affordable and very cost effective, vis-a-vis other POS systems. The system setup is fast and uncomplicated, and itâ€™s super easy to train staff.â€
